Eventual race winner, Doug Kalitta's car (yes, of Kalitta Air Cargo) being fueled with "liquid gold" - nitromethane ($40 + per gallon). Ironically, this is not the car in which he would win the race. His right rear tire in this car exploded at over 300 mph. After getting the car stopped safely and assessing the damage, the crew determined it was not fit to race. So they pulled out a back up chassis/car and with that, they ran even better and won the race.
